F    G    Am


VERSE:
------
F                    G                Am           G
Charlie you're not my Charlie anymore, screwing it up
                    F           G                  Am
You're killing your soul with an audience looking on.
F                G                            Am               G
If I hadn't left early last night I would've made a speech to you
                F     G                   Am
You're not the only one you're going to hurt.


PRE-CHORUS:
-----------
               F           G                Am
If you don't believe me, I don't believe in you.
               F            G               Am
If you don't believe me, I don't believe in you.

F         G       Am      
Makes it all feel better, does it?
F         G       Am 
Makes it feel like Heaven, does it?
    F                 G        C
You loved it and you spent accordingly.


CHORUS:
-------
C                   F
You can't afford it now
     G              C
You can't afford it now
                    F
You can't afford it now
      G               C
You'll try and you'll fail
                          F
and love it like a little dog
      G                       C
and feed it on the scraps you find
                                 F      G    Am
and kiss it while you're still asleep
                    F   G   Am
You buy now and pay later.


VERSE:
------
F               G                         Am               G
So where's the problem you can ask if you keep your head up
         F                       G                     Am
But the road is long and you're falling asleep at the wheel
F                   G                    Am          G
Here's a girl going crazy 'bout you and I'm not far behind
         F              G          Am
Can you care about your friends anymore?


PRE-CHORUS:
-----------
               F           G                Am
If you don't believe me, I don't believe in you.
               F            G               Am
If you don't believe me, I don't believe in you.

F         G       Am
Makes it all feel better, does it?
F         G       Am
Makes it feel like Heaven, does it?
    F                 G        C
You loved it and you spent accordingly.


CHORUS:
-------
C                   F
You can't afford it now
     G              C
You can't afford it now
                    F
You can't afford it now
      G               C
You'll try and you'll fail
                          F
and love it like a little dog
      G                       C
and feed it on the scraps you find
                                 F     G    Am
and kiss it while you're still asleep



CHORUS:
-------
                        F   G   Am
You buy now and pay later.
                        F   G   Am
You buy now and pay later.


END:

F                   G                    Am         
Here's a girl going crazy 'bout you and I'm not far behind...
